Artspace Hamilton Lofts reached a milestone in December, leasing all of the available ground-floor commercial space. The $11.8 million project, at 222 High St. in downtown Hamilton, is intended to quite literally build support for local arts.

The Twin Cities nonprofit, which builds lofts and workspaces for artists, has finished a 34-unit development in MInot, N.D.,, where housing has been at a premium because of the oil boom and recent floods.
